Recycling tips

How to recycle your real Christmas tree (SGC)

Wrapping paper and cards without glitter, foil or plastic can be recycled. Use the scrunch test for wrapping paper – if it stays crunched, recycle it. If it springs back, reuse it or put it in the black bin.

Recycle brown paper from parcels with cardboard. Put extra card in a cardboard box (no larger than your recycling box). Take very large carboard boxes to a Sort It recycling centre.

In case your house isn’t served by the blue bag scheme for soft plastic recycling, there is a collection point for soft plastic and plastic film at the Tesco Extra store in Bradley Stoke. See: Tesco Extra store leads the way on soft plastic recycling.

The town council office at The Jubilee Centre, Savages Wood Road, will close at 12noon on Tuesday 24th December 2024 and reopen at 8.30am on Thursday 2nd January 2025.
